Full TextAbstract
The newest generation of Implantable Medical Devices (IMDs) employ wireless communication with a nearby base station in order to provide better treatment and monitoring of the patients. However, a wireless connection opens a host of potential security threats to the privacy and safety of patients. This paper proposes a lightweight security protocol providing authentication and confidentiality to wireless IMDs. IMDs perform their main functions using extremely limited energy sources. Adding security features to those devices can present an unacceptable overhead. The protocol presented here employs lightweight encryption and is suitable for implementation on ultra-low power VLSI chips.
